Climate scientists admit their models were wrong!

Just as prominent climate-change scientists are admitting their models predicting global warming were wrong, the city of San Francisco is suing five of the world’s largest oil and gas companies based on the “scientific consensus” that mankind is causing catastrophic damage to the planet through fossil fuels and other carbon emissions.

The lawsuit filed Tuesday in California court accuses the oil companies – including Chevron, Exxon Mobil and ConocoPhillips – of ignoring warnings that fossil fuels would cause global warming and of engaging in campaigns to discredit the claims of climate scientists, the Associated Press reported.

The city of Oakland, at least two California counties and another city have filed separate but similar suits.

San Francisco, claiming the oil companies have created a public nuisance, wants to be reimbursed for the costs of sea walls and other infrastructure that officials claim are needed to protect against climate change.

Exxon to San Francisco,

Who run Bartertown?

[Bob434]

The models are wrong, so the climate scientists should be sued for trying to bully an organization using FALSE data

[SkyDancer]

Okay - just tell those cities/counties that they won’t sell them anymore oil products. See how long that’ll last.

[Skywise]

How is California’s state government not complicit? They’ve taxed their own resources through illegal immigration not only increasing waste generation, power consumption and taxing water supplies nationwide but increasing the carbon footprint of the state!

"...San Francisco is suing five of the world’s largest oil and gas companies based on the “scientific consensus” that mankind is causing catastrophic damage to the planet through fossil fuels and other carbon emissions."

So, why isn't San Francisco suing mankind?

[Red Badger]

Then SF should stop using ANY products of petroleum IMMEDIATELY.

Gasoline, diesel, motor oil, lubricants, Plastics, clothing, ANYTHING that is derived from petroleum.....................

Green Mail by the givernment is legal and righteous....

I think San Francisco would experience a complete societal collapse if they had no access to lubricants. The loss of gas and oil? Not so much.

[DoughtyOne]

The problem is, there’s a real shortage of attorneys. /s

I wish...

[Seaplaner]

Hmmm, very interesting.

A court of law might be a very good forum for true scientists to present verifiable data that challenge and contradict the warmist religious dogma; and, it might be newsy enough that the media can't ignore.

This scientist is for this lawsuit.

[spokeshave]

Ha...discovery should be a hoot

Get those computer based models...

Counter sue and ask for legal costs. Make them pay for frivolous BS.

[Dennis M.]

San Fransisco needs to go after the people burning the gasoline, not the producer. Tax all of the people with cars in San Fransisco. Give it to the victims in Texas.

[SkyDancer]

Counter suing only means that the taxpayers would foot the bill for their stupidity. Just refuse to sell to them I think is the best way. Maybe the populace will finally rise up.

[Red Badger]

LOL!.........................

[M Kehoe]

Simple answer. No gas or other petroleum products go into those cities.

All oil companies within California ought to shut down for a week of “maintenance”....at the same time.
